Family Links Spouses/Children: 1. Elizabeth Bissard Phoebe Space+ Elizabeth Space+ Abigail Space Philip Space+ Maria Space James Rankin Space+ Ruth Space John Nelson Space+ 2. Valonia Ferry John Space Born: 1783, Harrisburg, Dauphin, Pennsylvania, USA 2 3 4 5 Marriage (1): Elizabeth Bissard 1 Marriage (2): Valonia Ferry Died: Cir 1870, Grand Ledge, Eaton, Michigan, USA at age 87   Research Notes:   The possibility exists that Valonia (1850 US Census) or Velma (Louisa Van Guilder's Death Certificate) FERRY is also Veronica (Space). Both are the same age and are identified as being born in Vermont in some census records. Apparently widowed between the 1850 US Census and the 1854 MI Census, she may have joined the John SPACE household. Phidilia (Fidelia) and Mary E. J. to appear in Census records for both households and the name, age and birth state combinations should be too unique to be coincidental. I have not yet been able to resolve this.
